There's apparently a gentleman's agreement among the NBA owners: each owner has two courtside seats reserved for a visiting owner. For this year's playoffs, however, Dan Gilbert gave those two seats to two members of Lebron's entourage, presumably as a way to appease the future free agent (sounds pretty unprofessional to me).

Now Gilbert's letter sounds to me like, "I even let you PIIMB, and you're leaving me?"

So not only is Gilbert an inept owner who couldn't win a title in seven years with James (almost any other team would have done so), but he's a pussy who did everything he could to spoil Lebron.

Gilbert never quit on the Cavs during the playoffs.

"We gotta stop letting these athletes get away with things".

Didn't he say something like that when he got pissed at Lebron.

Gilbert never did anything good. Lebron did a lot of good things. James has done his job a LOT better than Gilbert has.

And Gilbert has profitted and will continue to profit by doing more harm to Clevelanders and Ohioans than James EVER could...

Your shtick gets older, dumber and more repetitive each day. I hope you aren't trying out this material on your crowds at the bars where you host open mic night.

How so? There are some great NBA players that never won a championship, especially while playing alone.

Magic Johnson played with two other hall of famers in Kareem and James Worthy. Michael Jordan played with Scottie Pippen. Larry Bird played with Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish and Dennis Johnson among others.
